BACKGROUND Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a chippackage and a chip package.

Description of Related Art

Generally, when a chip package for sensing light is being manufactured,a wafer and a function layer can be first bonded to a carrier, and thenthe wafer is subjected to an etching process such that an opening of asensing area and a scribe trench for a subsequent cutting process can besimultaneously formed on the wafer. In a subsequent process, anisolation layer of the wafer in the opening can be removed to expose thefunction layer, and then a step of cutting the function layer and thecarrier along the scribe trench is performed to form a chip package.

However, when the function layer and the carrier are being cut, thesensing area is susceptible to damage, such as contamination, whichmakes it difficult to improve the product yield. In addition, since theopening of the sensing area and the scribe trench are simultaneouslyformed on the wafer during the etching process, an inner wall surface ofthe wafer facing the opening of the sensing area and an outer wallsurface of the wafer facing the scribe trench are substantially angledequally. As a result, the foregoing chip package cannot be applied todifferent types of optical sensors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of theinvention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in thedrawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

FIGS. 1-11 illustrate cross-sectional views of steps of a manufacturingmethod of a chip package according to an embodiment of the presentinvention. Referring to FIG. 1, a wafer 110 a and a light-transmissivefunction layer 120 are bonded to a carrier 130, such that thelight-transmissive function layer 120 is located between the wafer 110 aand the carrier 130. After the wafer 110 a and the light-transmissivefunction layer 120 are bonded to the carrier 130, a surface 113 of thewafer 110 a facing away from the light-transmissive function layer 120can be ground. In this embodiment, the wafer 110 a has a first isolationlayer 112 a and a second isolation layer 112 b on the light-transmissivefunction layer 120, and has a conductive pad 114 located in the secondisolation layer 112 b. The first isolation layer 112 a and the secondisolation layer 112 b may be of the same material. The material of thewafer 110 a may be silicon. The material of the light-transmissivefunction layer 120 may be a polymer, such as a high polymer material.The material of the carrier 130 may be glass.

Next referring to FIG. 2, the wafer 110 a can be patterned to form ascribe trench 102, such as by applying an etching process to the wafer110 a. The first isolation layer 112 a, the second isolation layer 112b, the conductive pad 114 and the light-transmissive function layer 120are located in the scribe trench 102. The wafer 110 a has an outer wallsurface 115 facing the scribe trench 102, and a first included angle 81is formed between the outer wall surface 115 and a surface 111 of thewafer 110 a facing the light-transmissive function layer 120.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, next, the first isolation layer 112 a, thesecond isolation layer 112 b, the light-transmissive function layer 120and the carrier 130 can be cut along the scribe trench 102 to form achip package 100. In this embodiment, the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 and a portion of the carrier 130 can be first cut with acutter to form a recess 104. Next, another portion of the carrier 130 iscut with a laser along the recess 104, that is, the carrier 130 belowthe recess 104 is cut with a laser to form a gap 106. Through theforegoing steps, the carrier 130 protrudes from a side face 122 of thelight-transmissive function layer 120. The carrier 130 and thelight-transmissive function layer commonly has a curved surface S withthe light-transmissive function layer 120, and the curved surface S isadjacent to a side face 132 of the light-transmissive function layer 120and a side face 132 of the carrier 130 after cutting. A width of the gap106 is smaller than a width of the recess 104.

In addition, the chip package 100 includes the chip 110 as well as thefirst isolation layer 112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b, thelight-transmissive function layer 120, and the carrier 130 aftercutting. Herein, the chip 110 refers to a portion of the wafer 110 aafter cutting.

Referring to FIG. 5, in another embodiment, the first isolation layer112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b and the light-transmissivefunction layer 120 can be first cut with a first laser along the scribetrench 102 to form a recess 104 a, and then the carrier 130 is cut witha second laser along the recess 104 a to form a chip package 100 a. Thefirst laser and the second laser may have different parameters, such asdifferent powers, to form the recess 104 a and the gap 106 of differentwidths. The width of the gap 106 is smaller than that of the recess 104a. In this embodiment, the side face 122 of the light-transmissivefunction layer 120 of the chip package 100 a is substantially parallelto the side face 132 of the carrier 130.

Referring to FIG. 6, in another embodiment, a supporting part 140 can befirst formed on the carrier 130 or on the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 before steps of FIG. 1, and then the carrier 130 is bonded tothe light-transmissive function layer 120, such that the supporting part140 is located between the carrier 130 and the light-transmissivefunction layer 120. The difference between this embodiment and theembodiment of FIG. 5 is that the first isolation layer 112 a, the secondisolation layer 112 b, the light-transmissive function layer 120 and thesupporting part 140 are cut with a first laser along the scribe trench102 to form a recess 104 b, and then the carrier 130 is cut with asecond laser along the recess 104 b to form a chip package 100 b. Thatis, the recess 104 b further extends to the supporting part 140.

Referring to FIG. 7, in another embodiment, the first isolation layer112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b and a portion of thelight-transmissive function layer 120 can be cut with a cutter along thescribe trench 102 to form a recess 104 c. At this time, thelight-transmissive function layer 120 still has another portion locatedon the carrier 130 in the recess 104 c. Next, another portion of theforegoing light-transmissive function layer 120 and the carrier 130 arecut with a laser along the recess 104 c to obtain a chip package 100 cof FIG. 7. The side face 122 of the light-transmissive function layer120 of the chip package 100 c has an inclined part 121, and an obtuseangle θ is formed between the inclined part 121 and the carrier 130 thatprotrudes from the side face 122 of the light-transmissive functionlayer 120.

Referring to FIG. 8, in another embodiment, the first isolation layer112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b, the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 and the carrier 130 can be cut with a cutter along the scribetrench 102 to form a recess 106 a, to obtain a chip package 100 d ofFIG. 8. The side face 122 of the light-transmissive function layer 120of the chip package 100 d is coplanar with the side face 132 of thecarrier 130 in a continuous vertical surface.

Referring to FIG. 9, in another embodiment, the first isolation layer112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b, the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 and the carrier 130 can be cut with a laser along the scribetrench 102 to form a recess 106 b, to obtain a chip package 100 e ofFIG. 9. The side face 122 of the light-transmissive function layer 120of the chip package 100 e is coplanar with the side face 132 of thecarrier 130 in a continuous vertical surface. A width of the gap 106 bof FIG. 9 is smaller than that of the gap 106 a of FIG. 8.

In the following description, the chip package 100 of FIG. 4 will betaken as an example for the description of a subsequent process. Thesubsequent process steps of the chip packages 100 a-100 e of FIGS. 5-9are the same as those of the chip package 100 of FIG. 4, and thedetailed description thereof will not be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 10, after the gap 106 of the carrier 130 isformed, the chip 110 can be patterned to form an opening O for defininga sensing area, such as by applying an etching process to the chip 110.The first isolation layer 112 a, the second isolation layer 112 b andthe light-transmissive function layer 120 are located in the opening O,and the first isolation layer 112 a is exposed from the opening O.Through this step, the chip 110 has an inner wall surface 118surrounding the opening O, and the inner wall surface 118 faces awayfrom an outer wall surface 115. A second included angle 82 is formedbetween the inner wall surface 118 and a surface 111 of the chip 110,and the first included angle 81 may be different from the secondincluded angle 82. In this embodiment, the first included angle 81 issmaller than the second included angle 82, but the present invention isnot limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first included angle 81may be equal to or greater than the second included angle 82, which isnot intended to limit the present invention. Since the first includedangle 81 and the second included angle 82 of the chip 110 are generatedin two patterning steps (such as two etching steps), respectively, thedesigner can change process parameters according to product requirementsto elastically adjust the first included angle 81 and the secondincluded angle 82.

Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, FIG. 11 is a top view of FIG. 12 along aline 11-11; After the opening O of the chip 110 is formed, the firstisolation layer 112 a in the opening O can be etched and the firstisolation layer 112 a covering the conductive pad 114 can be etched,such that the second isolation layer 112 b in the opening O and theconductive pad 114 are both exposed. Next, the second isolation layer112 b in the opening O can be further etched to obtain a chip package100 of FIG. 11.

FIG. 13 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a chip package 100according to an embodiment of the present invention. The chip package100 includes a chip 110, a carrier 130, and a light-transmissivefunction layer 120. The chip 110 has a conductive pad 114, an opening Odefining a sensing area, an inner wall surface 118 surrounding theopening O, and an outer wall surface 115 facing away from the inner wallsurface 118. The light-transmissive function layer 120 is locatedbetween the chip 110 and the carrier 130. A first portion 123 of thelight-transmissive function layer 120 is located in the opening O. Asecond portion 124 of the light-transmissive function layer 120 iscovered by the chip 110. A third portion 125 of the light-transmissivefunction layer 120 protrudes from the outer wall surface 115 of the chip110, and the conductive pad 114 is located on the third portion 125. Afirst included angle 81 is formed between the outer wall surface 115 ofthe chip 110 and a surface 111 of the chip 110 facing thelight-transmissive function layer 120. A second included angle 82 isformed between the inner wall surface 118 and the surface 111 of thechip 110, and the first included angle 81 may be different from thesecond included angle 82.

The light-transmissive function layer 120 of the chip package 100 cansense a voltage that is applied by the conductive pad 114, and candeform to change an optical path.

In addition, the chip 110 further has a first isolation layer 112 a anda second isolation layer 112 b that surround the opening O, the secondisolation layer 112 b being located on the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 and protruding from the outer wall surface 115 of the chip110. The conductive pad 114 is exposed on the second isolation layer 112b, and can be electrically connected to other electronic devices (suchas a printed circuit board) by means of a wire bonding process.

In summary, since the wafer 110 a is patterned to form the scribe trench102, then the light-transmissive function layer 120 and the carrier 130are cut along the scribe trench 102, and then the chip 110 is patternedto form the opening O that defines the sensing area, the sensing area ofthe chip 110 can be prevented from damage when the cutting process isexecuted, thereby improving the product yield. In addition, the step offorming the scribe trench 102 by the wafer 110 a and the step of formingthe opening O by the chip 110 are not performed simultaneously, suchthat an inclination angle of the inner wall surface 118 of the chip 110surrounding the opening O and an inclination angle of the outer wallsurface 115 facing away from the inner wall surface 118 (namely theouter wall surface 115 facing the scribe trench 102) can be determinedas required by the designer. In this way, the manufacturing method of achip package 100 and the chip package 100 can be applied to differenttypes of optical sensors.

FIG. 14 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a chip package 100 baccording to an embodiment of the present invention. The differencebetween this embodiment and the embodiment of FIG. 13 is that the chippackage 100 b further includes a supporting part 140. The supportingpart 140 is located between the light-transmissive function layer 120and the carrier 130. In addition, the supporting part 140 overlaps thesecond portion 124 and the third portion 125 of the light-transmissivefunction layer 120. The side face 122 of the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 of the chip package 100 b is substantially parallel to theside face 132 of the carrier 130. The chip package 100 b of FIG. 14 canbe formed by the step of forming the opening O in FIG. 10 by the chippackage 100 b of FIG. 6 and the step of etching the first isolationlayer 112 a and the second isolation layer 112 b in FIG. 11.

FIGS. 15-18 illustrate cross-sectional views of steps of a manufacturingmethod of a chip package 100 f (see FIG. 18) according to an embodimentof the present invention. As shown in FIG. 15, a side 201 of a packagestructure 200 is first attached to a first adhesive tape T1, in whichthe package structure 200 may have a carrier 230 facing away from theside 201, the carrier 230 has an outward top surface 232, and the topsurface 232 is a plane for subsequent direct illumination by a modifiedlaser.

In this embodiment, the material of the carrier 230 may be glass. Forexample, the material of the carrier 230 may be optical glass, but isnot limited thereto. The package structure 200 further includes aconductive structure 202 located on the side 201, a wafer 210 that hasnot been cut, a supporting part 240, a conductive pad 205, isolationlayers 206 a and 206 b, a redistribution layer 207, and a protectivelayer 208. The package structure 200 is a wafer level package to be cutinto a chip package. A lower side 201 (such as the conductive structure202) of the package structure 200 adheres to the first adhesive tape T1.In addition, the supporting part 240 is located between the wafer 210and the carrier 230.

Referring to FIG. 16, the package structure 200 is cut from the topsurface 232 of the carrier 230 with a modified laser L. The modifiedlaser L differs from a general laser in that the modified laser L doesnot use destructive processing, but uses a mechanism of stress releasein a workpiece to cause a crack, so the modified laser L has lesspollution and improves reliability compared with conventional cutting.The modified laser lens L focuses on the inside of an object to be cut,and scans in a horizontal direction to make the object to be cutgenerate an internal crack, which makes it easy to achieve separation bystress in a subsequent process. Since the modified laser L can be usedto cut a composite material, in addition to cutting the carrier 230, themodified laser L can further cut the supporting part 240 and the wafer210 below the carrier 230. The modified laser L is used for the purposeof cutting in a sintering manner and focuses on a depth range of theobject to be cut to form a crack inside the object to be cut.

As shown in FIG. 23, after the carrier 230 is cut with the modifiedlaser L, an internal stress layer 203 can be formed in an interior ofthe carrier 230 (namely a side face 234 after the cutting) and a crack204 can be formed extending up and down from the internal stress layer203. Adjustment parameters of the modified laser L can be determinedaccording to a laser wavelength and a type and a thickness of the objectto be cut. The modified laser L can save the process steps of cuttingthe wafer level package and reduce the volume of a material removed toavoid waste. In addition, the advantages of the modified laser L furtherinclude less heat affect zone (HAZ), less chipping, smaller debris(Debris), less contamination, higher cutting speed, and less scribe linearea. The size of the debris can be less than 10 μm.

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, after the cutting process is executed byusing the modified laser L, a second adhesive tape T2 is attached to thetop surface 232 of the carrier 230 and then overturned by 180 degrees,and the first adhesive tape T1 attached to the conductive structure 202is removed.

Referring to FIG. 18, next, the second adhesive tape T2 can be expanded(for example, the second adhesive tape T2 is tensioned by force inopposite directions D1 and D2). Since the wafer 210, the supporting part240 and the carrier 230 have been sintered by the modified laser L, whenthe second adhesive tape T2 is expanded, the package structure 200 canbe easily divided into a plurality of chip packages 100 f.

FIGS. 19-22 illustrate cross-sectional views of steps of a manufacturingmethod of a chip package 100 g (see FIG. 22) according to an embodimentof the present invention. As shown in FIG. 19, a side 201 of a packagestructure 200 a is first attached to a first adhesive tape T1, in whichthe package structure 200 a has a carrier 230 facing away from the side201, the carrier 230 has an outward top surface 232, and the top surface232 is a plane for subsequent direct illumination by a modified laser.

In this embodiment, the material of the carrier 230 may be glass, but isnot limited thereto. The package structure 200 a further includes awafer 210 a that has not been cut but has an opening O, and alight-transmissive function layer 120 a. The material of thelight-transmissive function layer 120 a may be a polymer, but is notlimited thereto. The package structure 200 a is a wafer level package tobe cut into a chip package. A lower side 201 of the package structure200 a (such as the wafer 210 a) adheres to the first adhesive tape T1.In addition, the light-transmissive function layer 120 a is locatedbetween the wafer 210 a and the carrier 230. The configuration of FIG.19 can prevent the light-transmissive function layer 120 a facing theopening O and the wafer 210 a from being in contact with process water(such as cooling water), omitting the cost of coating a waterprooflayer.

Referring to FIG. 20, the package structure 200 a is cut from the topsurface 232 of the carrier 230 with a modified laser L. Thecharacteristics and advantages of the modified laser L will not berepeated. Since the modified laser L can be used to cut a compositematerial, in addition to cutting the carrier 230, the modified laser Lcan further cut the light-transmissive function layer 120 a. In thisembodiment, after the carrier 230 is cut with the modified laser L, aninterior of the carrier 230 (namely a side face 234 after the cutting)has an internal stress layer 203 as shown in FIG. 23 and a crack 204extending up and down from the internal stress layer 203, and a linemark 209 as shown in FIG. 24 is formed in an interior of thelight-transmissive function layer 120 a (namely a side face 122 aftercutting).

Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, after the cutting process is executed byusing the modified laser L, a second adhesive tape T2 is attached to thetop surface 232 of the carrier 230 and then overturned by 180 degrees,and the first adhesive tape T1 attached to the wafer 210 a is removed.

Next referring to FIG. 22, the second adhesive tape T2 can be expanded(for example, the second adhesive tape T2 is tensioned by force inopposite directions D1 and D2). Since the light-transmissive functionlayer 120 a and the carrier 230 have been sintered by the modified laserL, when the second adhesive tape T2 is expanded, the package structure200 a can be easily divided into a plurality of chip packages 100 g.

FIGS. 25-28 illustrate cross-sectional views of steps of a manufacturingmethod of a chip package 100 h according to an embodiment of the presentinvention. As shown in FIG. 25, a side 201 of a package structure 200 bis first attached to a first adhesive tape T1, in which the packagestructure 200 b may have a carrier 230 facing away from the side 201,the carrier 230 has an top surface 232 facing outward, and the topsurface 232 is a plane for subsequent direct illumination by a modifiedlaser.

The package structure 200 b further includes aconductive structure 202 located on the side 201, a wafer 210 b that hasnot been cut, a conductive pad 205, an isolation layer 206 c, aredistribution layer 207, and a protective layer 208. The packagestructure 200 b is a wafer level package to be cut into a chip package.A lower side 201 (such as the conductive structure 202 and theprotective layer 208) of the package structure 200 b adheres to thefirst adhesive tape T1.

Referring to FIG. 26, the package structure 200 b is cut from the topsurface 232 of the carrier 230 with a modified laser L. Thecharacteristics and advantages of the modified laser L will not berepeated herein. Since the modified laser L can be used to cut acomposite material, in addition to cutting the carrier 230, the modifiedlaser L can further cut the wafer 210 b. In this embodiment, after thecarrier 230 is cut with the modified laser L, an interior of the carrier230 (namely a side face 234 after the cutting) has an internal stresslayer 203 as shown in FIG. 23 and a crack 204 extending up and down fromthe internal stress layer 203.

Referring to FIGS. 26 and 27, after the cutting process is executed byusing the modified laser L, a second adhesive tape T2 is attached to thetop surface 232 of the carrier 230 and then overturned by 180 degrees,and the first adhesive tape T1 attached to the wafer 210 b is removed.

Next referring to FIG. 28, the second adhesive tape T2 can be expanded(for example, the second adhesive tape T2 is tensioned by force inopposite directions D1 and D2). Since the carrier 230 of the wafer 210 bhave been sintered by the modified laser L, when the second adhesivetape T2 is expanded, the package structure 200 b can be easily dividedinto a plurality of chip packages 100 h.

The foregoing modified laser L can also be applied to the lasersmentioned in the foregoing FIGS. 1-14.
